The Loch Ness Monster- Dinosaur or Elephant?

[Zenith]

The Loch Ness monster is my cousin Johnson.

Alternatively, it is a horribly mutated form of Ness.

Alternatively alternatively we are the Loch Ness monster. And also legend.

(But there's probably nothing there. With modern technology it's only a matter of time until we find this out*)

(I'm too lazy to read two and half pages of arguing over semantics so sorry if any of these have already been stated)

*Even if we do find it, retroactively I'm still right according to this footnote

 

[WailmerMan]

and by now I think it's either not real or an entirely new species.

The Loch Ness monster is one of the few "cryptids" whose existence I doubt. The evidence mostly just doesn't add up.

I will very easily settle this one. DINOPHANT!!!! Nuff said

What is the thing that could not have been hoaxed for hundreds of years that you are referencing? The creatures similar to the loch ness monster that have been seen across the globe? Here's how those situations probably work out:
1. See something strange in the water.
2.Without seeing the full creature, come to some idea of what the creature looks like, based on the limited portion seen/cultural influences.
3. Over the years people find out there have been weird creatures in other parts of the world. They look at a picture or hear stories and go "Yeah, that thing described over there is probably what I've seen too!"

obviously, you did not read my whole post. try to reading it again and see which part you missed that invalidates your argument against me. 10 points if you are able to find why you are being careless

superiorly hating of the disc,

No, this information is true. The water the loch are the remains of a glacier (although believers claim the Loch Ness monster later found a way to enter the loch).

The Loch is connected to the ocean, so its possible for creatures to enter and leave the loch contrary to popular belief that the loch is land locked such as salt lake

In order for such animal to reach other waters it has to swim right through a river in the middle of a city. Don't you think people will notice a group of plesiosaurs swimming through their city?

If it is connected to the ocean, please explain how it is above sea level?

Loch Ness (pronounced /ˌlɒx ˈnɛs/, Scottish Gaelic: Loch Nis) is a large, deep, freshwater loch in the Scottish Highlands (57°18′N 4°27′W / 57.3°N 4.45°W / 57.3; -4.45) extending for approximately 37 km (23 mi) southwest of Inverness. Its surface is 15.8 m (52 ft) above sea level.

There isn't a doubt in my mind that the Loch Ness Monster exists, but I don't think it's and elephant.

 

[moonpix]

If it was real, shouldn't the have at least checked it out by now?
Anyway its totally real U:<

 

[ShayminTails]

In my Honest Opinion, It's a Sea Serpent, just like the Nessies in the cartoon "Happy Ness: The Secret of the Loch"

I do believe in the Loch Ness monster. I have been interested in it since I was about seven, and I am twelve now. After five years of researching I have heard compelling facts about why it might or might not be real. I am in A.P. Biology and I believe that there are still things in this world that can't be explained.

 

[Akamu]

I don't know much about the topic, besides the typical speculation of it being an ancient sea creature from Prehistoric times, but as for the two images.. If you look at them both closely, notice the tip of the "Loch Ness" Elephant's nose is practically dipped in the water. This is purely speculation, but wouldn't the elephant keep it's trunk well above the water to prevent accidentally inhaling water? As you can see from the elephant's image, it's pretty much straight up and down. Also, elephants aren't carnivores as you all know, so how could it be that if the first "sighting" included a large creature with an animal in it's mouth? What would it live on to eat?

Consider these questions to better understand it rather than refutes.

Waterfalls?

But I do agree, this makes it even more unlikely.

 

[GHJamesGH]

Its not an elephant, its a Lapras.

 

[varit]

since they were good swimmer's and had survived the prehistoric era it's a given that they could have survived along with alligator's and platypus duck's, but if anything it would be a milotic, or lapras. cya

 

[omahanime]

Its not an elephant, its a Lapras.

I think this answer is just as likely.

Look at a map, they end up fishing out alot of fish that are only found in the ocean all the time. So you can't say that nothing can enter the loch because of its hight.

Resource please?

The loch is a fresh water loch. Salt water fishes won't survive in the loch (there are some exeptions).

Also in this is indeed the case, fishes may use waterfalls for climbing up the river to the loch. Anyway, this isn't the transport a Plesiosaur (or some creature like that) would use. Their weight would obviously be too much to climb waterfalls (No, it doesn't work like Pokemon where every Water Pokemon can climb waterfalls). Besides, they still have to travel through cities.
